Okay, you now listen, you've cursed over multiple posts, insulted one another. Over what? The business plan of GameStop...
And you think posting is going to help any more than them posting?
Cut it out, right now.

The presentation pretty much boiled down to, lets explain/demonstrate kinect again, nintendogs with guns, and FOOTBAW IT PLAYS FOOTBAW!!
What I actually think of the console? As someone sitting on the poverty line im morally opposed to it.
1. Rather than giving people the option of buying a kinect peripheral, they stick it in the box and rack up the price, forcing you to get kinect regardless of whether your that stoked or even want to use the add-on.
2. To use the console it needs to be online at least once a day. As someone who sometimes cant afford internet for days at a time, screw that. Oh, and you need to access online to register your games so you can play them, which really deserves its own point really...
3. All games you buy, come with a code, that you register to "unlock" that game. You cant re-sell xbox games now. And if say I want to give away my game to a friend, they have to buy their own code, which is costed at the same price as as the actual game. So full price at ?40. Which is more in dollars I think? But anyway that is probably the most evil, money-grabbing thing I have ever seen a video games company do.
4. And they're keeping the online subscription thing.
So yeah, I dont care how powerful it is, or what great exclusives it gets, SCREW. THE. XBOX. I can only see rich white soccer moms buying this anal burp of a console. And when it burns i will sit down with sony and nintendo and cook s'mores over its melting corpse.
I have strong opinions. （￣へ￣）

Hey Listen!
Nathan :D
Weeeeellll. It did kinda punch the PS4 in the face from what I've heard. But hey. We'll see which won beats the other.
The PS4 hasn't even been revealed yet yo.
Although i worry for nintendo, despite the 3ds XL being the best handheld ever made imo, the wii u is chronically underselling and has the output power of a xbox 360, which normally i wouldnt mind a weak console, because its the games that make it, but the wii u has only got a handful at the moment with little in the pipeline. Smash bros and Pikmin have me excited but i do worry for the little guy.
It could do a complete turnaround once it has some good games on it, and the console has dropped in price. The first wii completely outsold the ps3 and 360 because of its cheapness and great titles, despite being weaker so idk.
*shrugems* (~￣▽￣)~
im excited for the ps4 tho

You guys must have missed the stuff Sony revealed a few months ago.
They didn't show everything about the console like Microsoft did today, but Sony has shown what their console can do, the controller, and a good bit of games.
I feel Microsoft is really getting up on a high place with this console and might not expect the drop they're going to have. Regardless people are still going to buy the console, there are people out there who eat anything up. But I don't expect it'll do well early into it's life.
People are pretty upset with the used games fee(Which is retail fee. You have to pay retail price to just play a used game.)
We'll see, but so far a lot of people are really upset with what Microsoft has announced today.
I actually agree with you.
I think they should have called it the Xbox VCR. I think it suits it pretty well.
I don't even buy new games so if there isn't a way to get used games than I'm immediately out, not to mention all of the other details that make the Xbox One kind of terrible.
It was just sneaky peakies and "hey out controller has a touch pad"
i'd hardly call that a reveal yo. And even tho i know nothing about the ps4 im still betting on it for this generation.
ALSO, while were at it why is everything these days all black and shiny and sleek and looks like something from minority report? And the menus gotta be all fancy and monochrome and look like a car advert. I like my consoles brightly coloured and covered in stickers.

Well yeah, I agree that it was more sneak peaks than actual full fledged reveals, but it was STILL better than Microsoft's crap today.
I'll take my old man with lovely eyes over COD Dogs any day.

That's a pretty crappy work around.
If they really didn't care about people using used games, they wouldn't have used the activation codes at all.

I'm not impressed with it, they haven't made enough changes, and some of the changes they have made aren't great.
They're putting too much emphasis on being able to watch tv and music and blue rays on it when I'm just interested in the gaming capabilities.

I didn't watch the reveal but I read the list of features and such.
And I must say the more I read the lower my already extremely low chance of getting it gets.
I give the Xbox One a .1% chance of being bought by me ever.
They should stop making gaming more and more of a chore.

Well, either way, the One isn't going to be too popular. Depends on what Sony brings to the board.

Exactly this.
They're trying so hard to be the one console that offers all of this pointless crap. The percentage of people who want any of the stuff they've shown is not high enough for them to be focusing on it, so why?
Plus they're so obsessed with Kinect that anything that they could have made really well, they ruined by integrating their crappy motion/voice control into it.
This is really interesting, I just don't see this console taking off at all with the limitations that are being thrown around. Will this xbox one be discontinued early on for a newer version that takes away some of the limitations? I just don't believe they would send out a console like that.
I suppose microsoft are trying to get rid of the home console and try to implement a home center type deal that is for everything. At least that's what I've gotten from watching absolutely none of the conference and just reading this thread?

Basically... Haha!
Also the TV service shown is only available in America and you need to buy a peripheral to use it. Mess!
